LAKE FOREST, IL — Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson used the occasion of a news conference following his four-year contract extension to announce that he has undergone therapy for sexual addiction. Johnson said last season was critical to his career but became a greater struggle personally because of the challenge of going through therapy. Johnson had four of his five career interceptions last season and was second-team All-Pro during a contract year.
